The 2024 Moonlight Classic is complete! Despite the summer heat, 240 bicyclists rode the streets of downtown Des Moines to shine a light on children’s mental health. Forty-eight sponsors including long time Presenting Sponsor, Sammons Financial Group Companies helped raise over $100,000 to support the critical work of Orchard Place. It takes a village to host this one-of-a-kind event. Thank you to the officers of the Des Moines Police and Iowa State Patrol, Des Moines Fire Department, the Iowa Taproom for hosting, and the 48 route volunteers. Planning this year’s ride included many challenges like logjams, road closures, and torn up trails, but that did not stop us from Developing Strong Futures for Orchard Place youth and families! 🚲Moonlight Trophy – Sammons Financial 🚲Costume Contest – Fox 17 USA Olympic Dodgeball Team 🚲Helmet Contest – Yvette Hoffman Mark your calendars for the 2025 Moonlight Classic taking place on Saturday, July 12! #OrchardPlaceStrong #BikeRide #Fundraiser #ChildrensMentalHealth

Happy #WorldEmojiDay from the Orchard Place team! Emojis are a fun way to express our emotions and reactions. Here at Orchard Place, we often check in with each other by asking, "How are you feeling today?" Trauma separates us from our feelings and can also amplify intense feelings, so this question helps us identify what we are feeling, and to be okay with having all kinds of feelings. Share your current feelings with us! Drop an emoji in the comments section! 🌞 #OrchardPlaceStrong #ChildrensMentalHealth #MentalHealth #Feelings

While psychiatrists focus more on medical science and medication therapy, a psychologist focuses on psychotherapy, counseling and behavioral therapy. These types of treatment are essential for improving emotional and mental well-being and are often provided in addition to medication therapy. Thank you to our psychologist, Beth, for providing quality care to the youth and families we serve at Orchard Place. #OrchardPlaceStrong #PsychologistAppreciationDay
